Monday: Sweet & Sour Meatballs
I denied Rockford’s request for Easter dinner this week. Meatballs were his second choice.

Tuesday: Pizza
I think I need to stop planning to go to our favorite local pizzeria, because it gets icy out every time it’s on the menu.
Wednesday: Tacos
I’m trying to get back in the habit of letting the kids have a Kids Choice night. This was Pete’s pick.

Thursday: Omelets
I bought a ton of eggs last week in anticipation of my in-laws staying here with the kids for a few days, and they only used a few of them. We all love omelets, though, so all is well.

Friday: ???
I still don’t have a plan for Friday.

I’m linking this up with OrgJunkie.com’s weekly Menu Plan Monday thing.

Spoiler-filled thoughts while watching “Midnight Cowboy”

I can’t remember when we watched “Midnight Cowboy.” Sometime in 2013. I just found this in my Unscheduled Drafts, and I thought, “Hey, let’s just go ahead and make that a scheduled draft.”

midnight_cowboyBeware: This contains lots of spoilers.

  • That’s a sweet suitcase.

  • Jon Voigt really knows his way around a piece of gum.

  • Wait, so his whole plan from the start was to be a male prostitute. I thought he went to New York and things went bad and then he had to become a prostitute. This is a weird movie.

  • Listening to your transistor radio on the bus? Not cool, Joe Buck.

  • Me: This guy looks like a total creep.
    Rockford: What?! He’s just a guy who thinks he’s pretty great and has a plan.
    Me: Jon Voigt always looks like a creep.

  • This movie’s weird.

  • But at least there’s Nilsson.

  • I had no idea “I’m looking for the Statue of Liberty” was code. Also, tongues in ears are gross.

  • I love Dustin Hoffman. Joe Buck is a moron.

  • “I ain’t a real cowboy, but I sure am a stud!” This is a creepy creeperton of a movie.

  • That radio has unbelievable battery life.

  • Joe Buck is not a savvy businessman.

  • Fact: “The two items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and coconut milk.”
